The NCAA Tournament didn't see a lot of first-round upsets. Two of the biggest upsets of the first weekend were made by major conference teams with low seeds (Texas and Iowa). Part of that is the committee "rewarding" the top mid-major teams with eight and nine seeds, pitting them against one of the four best […]

We just crowned another champion. That makes 26 this century. We are a little over a quarter of the way through this century, and we have seen some dominant teams cut down the nets. We've seen a few generationally good teams fail to win the title (Kentucky in 2015 comes to mind). Some teams tried […]

Eight teams have advanced to next weekend. We have eight more to go! The Friday games were all chalk once the officials got involved in the Kentucky game. Utah State disposed of an 8-seed, but they were favored in the game. Vegas knows. There are a couple of games that are likely to be high-scoring, […]

The 16-game extravaganza on Thursday leads to eight games today. These are 16 solid teams. We had some fun upsets, some would-be upsets until the officials got involved, and some wall-to-wall blowouts. Those should be less frequent in these eight games, but honestly, I think I only see one game that could be a blowout. […]

Yesterday's monster slate was a lot of fun! Are you back for more? I'm ready! We have one more big slate to go before they get progressively smaller to close the season. This is like Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to me. We are on to the Christmas morning portion of the program. You have […]

The NCAA Tournament seedings are usually a hotly contested topic from the time that the bracket drops until someone cuts down the nets. Some of these are based on how teams finished. Some are based on metrics. Before we go too off the rails about seeding, it is worth noting a few rules that the […]

Today is the real start of the NCAA Tournament, and the largest slate of college basketball games you will ever find. It only happens twice a year, on the first two days of the NCAA Tournament. This is like Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to me. I cleaned up some NIT slates to build some […]

We are on the eve of the greatest four days of sports on the planet. None of my ranked teams missed the NCAA Tournament. The perfect run for the Miami Redhawks was spoiled in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament. Some are disappointed with the draw in a "play-in" game, but why? Dayton is right […]

Curt Cignetti's success at Indiana after moving from James Madison has changed college football coaching cycles forever. We saw a lot of coaches lose jobs last year, even ones we thought were untouchable (Brian Kelly and James Franklin). Some coaches were fired for poor performance. Some were fired because the teams were stuck in the […]

The field of 68 is finally out, and we are on the brink of the four greatest days in any sport in any country on any continent. The NCAA Tournament is an entirely different animal, and the first four days of this behemoth are the most fun days you'll have watching sports, whether it's by […]

There was more chaos to end the regular season, but one team from tiny Oxford, Ohio, refuses to lose. No matter what happens in the conference tournament, the 2025-26 Miami Redhawks will be a story told for generations. 2020-21 Gonzaga was the last team to go undefeated in the regular season. It lost in the […]

The transfer portal is mostly closed, even though we still see some entrants trickling in. We know all about those impact transfers like Sam Leavitt, Caleb Hawkins, and Cam Coleman. What about the guys who aren't talked about as much? How many had heard of Cam Cook before the season last year? He wasn't talked […]

Every team on the list except UConn has two regular-season games left. Conference play has wreaked havoc on teams in nearly every conference, yet we still have this one team from Oxford, Ohio that just refuses to lose. No matter what happens from here on out, the 2025-26 Miami Redhawks will be a story told […]

There are only two weeks left of the regular season. Where did the season go? I have a theory. Back in the "old days," college football ended during the first couple of days of January. College basketball took center stage for the entirety of the conference season. All was right in the world. Now with […]

Four-star Fairhope, Alabama, quarterback Gunner Rivers has committed to North Carolina State. Gunner is the son of eight-time NFL Pro-Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers, who starred in college for North Carolina State. Philip Rivers started all four of his seasons at North Carolina State from 2000-03. He threw for a school record 13,484 yards and 95 […]

Who is the best team ever? Since college football began in 1869, not one person has seen every championship team play. The ambiguity of early polls sometimes crowned several champions per season. The AP Poll in 1936 helped to alleviate that, but there were still issues. Issues that still aren't completely resolved. When I was […]

One of the two remaining undefeated teams fell this week. As with the ones before them, Arizona lost both games last week. What is it with losses coming in pairs for undefeated teams this year? We crown a new top team this week and have some more shakeups throughout the rankings. Let's see how far […]

It seems like bowl season took as long as the regular season itself. The 2025 season is over, and we have the first 16-0 team since 1894. It is a brand new world in college football. In case you didn't follow along this year, I picked every single college football game against the spread. I […]

There was a shakeup in the top 5 once again, with one of the last three undefeated teams falling. As with the last two undefeated teams, this team also lost twice in the same week, as Purdue and V...

There is only one team that made it out of the first-round bye in the expanded playoff out of the eight that tried. It's the Indiana Hoosiers, who feel like the team of destiny. On the other side, we have a team that couldn't even get into the ACC Championship Game. Did the second expanded […]

Conference road games turned out to be very tough for some of the higher-ranked teams. We have some big shakeups in our rankings, which means it was a fun week! Not for fans of the teams who lost,...

We have one more classic DraftKings college football tournament for the 2025 season. It's the Final Four in college football. Are these the best four teams in college football? Probably not, but one of the teams is the one that was ranked at the top of my rankings for most of the season. Bias in […]

All teams are now in the midst of conference play. If the first week of conference play is any indication, we are in for a fun two months! We had a few upsets this week and several overtime games....

Last week, we did a rundown of the best player performances in the College Football Playoff. With the CFP semifinals coming up this week, we're going to take another stroll down memory lane and rank all 22 of the CFP semifinal games. Since the introduction of a four-team playoff in 2014, there has been some […]

The transfer portal can change the immediate future for both individuals and entire programs alike. Last year, 315 quarterbacks entered the transfer portal. Of those 315 entries, 54 started the se...

This is the last day of regular bowl games. After today, only the College Football Playoff semifinals and National Championship remain. Where did this season go? It has been a fun ride, and I'm not going to leave you hanging on the last day of classic DFS for the 2025 season! We have a Texas […]

There weren’t many teams that played more than one game during the holiday week, so there wasn’t a lot of movement this week. Call it the calm before the conference storm. Every team b...

Remember when you were a kid and the only thing that was on television on New Year's Day was bowl games? Where have those days gone? Our New Year's Day only has three games this year, but they are all College Football Playoff quarterfinal games. Does that make up for fewer games? Not really, but […]

We are down to eight regular bowl games and seven CFP games remaining in the college football season. We'll cover all of the remaining regular bowls in this piece, and the quarterfinals of the CFP. It's going to be a wild three days! The last three CFP games will also be picked against the spread. […]

The last day of the year gives us another great DFS day. We are approaching the bowls, where there appear to be fewer opt-outs, but we still need to keep an eye on that. The first CFP quarterfinal is on this slate as well, giving us a rematch of the 2002 National Championship game. That […]
